Fashion Week Fall 2008 trend watch: Turning purple
Nobody really knows how this all happened, but there's a purple haze hanging over Fashion Week in Manhattan and it's spreading.
It was spotted last Friday -- the first day of this eight-day event showcasing fall's new designs -- and we're definitely keeping an eye on it. The color purple is overtaking the runways, popping up as the new "it" hue everywhere. It's flashing peace signs in the Miss Sixty collection (inspired by the haute hippie Bohemian look of the '60s and '70s); it's flirting in a flapper-inspired fringed dress in the DKNY collection; and it's making accents in plaid trousers and jackets for men in offerings by R. Scott French.
Designers usually swear their inspirations are all their own and that they really don't know how they all come up with certain ideas at the same time, therefore giving birth to a trend. Unless there's just something in the water here -- maybe grape Kool-Aid -- this purple thing blows the lid off designer claims that they don't spy on each other.
If we're to keep them at their word, perhaps this has to do with the move away from the neutrals and other quiet tones that took over a couple of seasons back. The thinking then was that the public was in a terrorism-shock mindset and really wasn't in the mood for anything bold. At last September's spring previews, vivid colors came back, and maybe designers are expressing their optimistic outlook on the future this election year with something bright, cheerful, regal.
Whatever the case, it's being shown in so many forms that Barney and the Purple People Eater would get indigestion. In addition to the ones mentioned earlier, here's a rundown of just some of the designers we have seen use this traditionally regal color as their muse so far: Rock & Republic, Baby Phat, Perry Ellis, Jeremy Laing, Z Zegna, Tracy Johnson and Reyes.
We've seen purple pop up everywhere, with Miss Sixty's show on Sunday night being the purplest of them all, starting with the purple program folder. The first outfit was topped with a purple wool chunky knit beret, the second featured a grape mohair oversized knit shawl, a purple, brown and tan cotton cap sleeve tee and purple metallic nylon clutch with ruched detailing.
Miss Sixty displayed even more purpleitis in corduroy high-waisted shorts, a leather and velvet handbag, a knit tunic, plastic sunglasses with studded temples, leather boots with tonal piping and buckle detail, a embossed-reptile ruched leather belt, leather ankle boots with multi-strap detail, denim dip-dyed skinny trousers, and purple tie-dye tights!
Now excuse me while I kiss the sky...

Top Fashion Models
As a professional photographer, I see it everyday. I have young male and female models, some beautiful and some with a definate fashion look or some with body measurements to fit the requirements for glamour modeling. But, I can also tell that some will never grace the runway or mazazine cover because of one thing -- The Proper Attitude!!
There are certain attributes you must have in order to become a teen models no matter how pretty or handsome, no matter if you are a teenager or adult, interested in commercial or fashion work. Here are a few suggestions and questions to ask in getting started as a model.

Most teen models who are interested in posing for model pics for the fun of it have no clue about the business end of entertainment. They don't realize talent scouts and photography companies are very intolerant when approached by an amateur who shows up late, dresses in the wrong way or even wears heavy makeup to the open call interview. All these things are important and are covered in the lessons for modeling on this website.
Let's face some facts ... Ford, IMG and Elite Modleing Agencies and beauty products are most likely going to turn you down when you apply. Now, I am certainly not implying that you shouldn't try; on the contrary. I'm just saying that some of the biggest supermodels in the business were turned down before they became successful models and stars.

So, you need to not accept failure as failure but only as a way to improve your craft, learn what they want, and try again. How long should you keep trying? As long as it takes!
Practice your poses and expressions daily but also promote yourself with consistency. A more steady stream of modeling jobs comes to those who work at it. Develop a plan of action and stick with it. You can find many good pictures galleries of fashion models.
Taking the first step to a modeling career demands that you take a good look at yourself. Two points: What is your area of interest? You might be interested in walking the catwalk, become one of those women posing in swimsuits as a glamour model or maybe you just want to do commercial or promotional work like you see at trade shows or even car races.
Once you determine your model interest area, make sure you know the requirements for each area. If your measurements or abilities are not suited for one type of modeling, change gears and find your second choice in your profession.

TOP Fashion
Raya's clients already include many top fashion magazines, including Harper's Bazaar and Icon, with which she is very proud to have worked, and cosmetics and clothing brands, such as Lolita Lempicka, Daniel Hechter and Vuarnet. Despite the impressive client line-up, however, she feels that she can "still do 100 times better" and says: "It's great when people like my photographs, but for me it is still not enough. I want to get to the top and then it will be easier for me to have access to the magazines that have big budgets to really do what I want to do with top models and haute couture."

Style.com just released their Spring 2009 Trend Report, highlighting the season's Top 6 trends:
Sixteen top fashion designers participate in 'Moda sin Tóxicos', a catwalk show organised by Greenpeace, to phase out chemicals currently widely used in clothing, which can harm the immune and nervous system, affect genital development, cause reproductive disorders and cancer.
